i just have regular deore v-brakes with shimano pads... first time i went out with them they were grinding my wheels... and the noise never really went away. looked up reviews on mtbr.com and people are having the same problems.
Put some koolstop pads on there and big difference... stopping power and no noise. never thought it would have made that much of a difference since i use shimano pads on my roadbikes. these should hold me up just fine til i go to disc brakes.
